• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Infrastructure as code (IaC) for Java-based apps on Azure

• CI/CD for Cloud-Native Applications"

  The last step creates the VM in Azure DevTest Labs using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and is represented via the JSON format. This step is quite simple: It sends (overrides) variables into the ARM scripts, which Azure uses to create a VM in the DevTest Labs. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• How I Build and Deliver B2B SaaS Software as a 1.5* Person Indie Developer

  Infrastructure (in other words, my hosting architecture) is defined entirely in code using a combination of Azure Resource Manager templates and PowerShell scripts. Terraform is the standard in the industry, but ARM templates are more than sufficient for my simple use case. Using ARM templates, I’m able to define a single file that deploys my entire architecture idempotently, in parallel. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Managing your homelab like a pro

  I'm wondering if there is such a solution like the "Azure Resource Manager" (ARM) but then for on-premise servers :). For more info on ARM: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/overview. Source: about 3 years ago
